abstract = {Endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers in vivo live visualization of transmural structures with histological resolution, making it a valuable tool in medical imaging. In gastroenterology, OCT endoscopy is particularly advantageous for assessing rectal wall layers, providing superior axial and lateral resolution compared to conventional rectal endoscopic ultrasound. However, the large diameter and uneven colon surface present challenges for comprehensive imaging. Extending the OCT imaging range addresses this issue by enabling a thorough examination of the entire colon, facilitating the detection of surface polyps, tumors, and their infiltration depth. Once these regions of interest are identified, high-resolution imaging becomes essential for detailed evaluation. To meet these demands, this study integrates two different imaging modes, an extended-range mode, and a high-detail mode, within a rigid rectoscope. The extended-range mode enables visualization of deeper structures, while the high-detail mode enhances image quality for precise, contact-based assessments. The system allows seamless, real-time transitions between the modes using a 3.2MHz-OCT system and a fiber‑optic MEMS switch.},

abstract = {Abstract The pre-clinical validation of cell therapies requires monitoring the biodistribution of transplanted cells in tissues of host organisms. Real-time detection of these cells in the circulatory system and identification of their aggregation state is a crucial piece of information, but necessitates deep penetration and fast imaging with high selectivity, subcellular resolution, and high throughput. In this study, multiphoton-based in-flow detection of human stem cells in whole, unfiltered blood is demonstrated in a microfluidic channel. The approach relies on a multiphoton microscope with diffractive scanning in the direction perpendicular to the flow via a rapidly wavelength-swept laser. Stem cells are labeled with metal oxide harmonic nanoparticles. Thanks to their strong and quasi-instantaneous second harmonic generation (SHG), an imaging rate in excess of 10 000 frames per second is achieved with pixel dwell times of 1 ns, a duration shorter than typical fluorescence lifetimes yet compatible with SHG. Through automated cell identification and segmentation, morphological features of each individual detected event are extracted and cell aggregates are distinguished from isolated cells. This combination of high-speed multiphoton microscopy and high-sensitivity SHG nanoparticle labeling in turbid media promises the detection of rare cells in the bloodstream for assessing novel cell-based therapies.}

abstract = {We demonstrate large-area robotically assisted optical coherence tomography (LARA-OCT), utilizing a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm in conjunction with a 3.3\&\#x2005;MHz swept-source OCT to raster scan samples of arbitrary shape. By combining multiple fields of view (FOV), LARA-OCT can probe a much larger area than conventional OCT. Also, nonplanar and curved surfaces like skin on arms and legs can be probed. The lenses in the LARA-OCT scanner with their normal FOV can have fewer aberrations and less complex optics compared to a single wide field design. This may be especially critical for high resolution scans. We directly use our fast MHz-OCT for tracking and stitching, making additional machine vision systems like cameras, positioning, tracking or navigation devices obsolete. This also eliminates the need for complex coordinate system registration between OCT and the machine vision system. We implemented a real time probe-to-surface control that maintains the probe alignment orthogonal to the sample by only using surface information from the OCT images. We present OCT data sets with volume sizes of 140\&\#x2009;\&\#x00D7;\&\#x2009;170\&\#x2009;\&\#x00D7;\&\#x2009;20 mm3, captured in 2.5 minutes.},

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) coupled with contrast-enhancement (dCEUS) can precisely quantify bowel wall thickness and microvascular circulation, potentially enabling the quantitative evaluation of inflammation.We conducted a prospective, longitudinal study to assess therapy response using dCEUS in aUC patients undergoing treatment with adalimumab (ADA) or infliximab (IFX).30 ADA- and 15 IFX-treated aUC patients were examined at baseline and at 2, 6, 14 weeks of therapy and 48 weeks of follow-up. Bowel wall thickness (BWT) was measured by EUS in the rectum. Vascularity was quantified by dCEUS using Rise Time (RT) and Time To Peak (TTP). Therapy response was defined after 14 weeks using the Mayo Score.Patients with aUC displayed a mean BWT of 3.9±0.9 mm. In case of response to ADA/IFX a significant reduction in BWT was observed after 2 weeks (p=0.04), whereas non-responders displayed no significant changes. The TTP was notably accelerated at baseline and significantly normalised by week 2 in responders (p=0.001), while non-responders exhibited no significant alterations (p=0.9). At week 2, the endoscopic Mayo score did not exhibit any changes, thus failing to predict treatment responses.dCEUS enables the early detection of therapy response in patients with aUC, which serves as a predictive marker for long term clinical success. Therefore, dCEUS serves as a diagnostic tool for assessing the probability of future therapy success.}",

abstract = {Circumferential scanning in endoscopic imaging is crucial across various disciplines, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is often the preferred choice due to its high-speed, high-resolution, and micron-scale imaging capabilities. Moreover, real-time and high-speed 3D endoscopy is a pivotal technology for medical screening and precise surgical guidance, among other applications. However, challenges such as image jitter and non-uniform rotational distortion (NURD) are persistent obstacles that hinder real-time visualization during high-speed OCT procedures. To address this issue, we developed an innovative, low-cost endoscope that employs a brushless DC motor for scanning, and a sensorless technique for triggering and synchronizing OCT imaging with the scanning motor. This sensorless approach uses the motor\&\#x2019;s electrical feedback (back electromotive force, BEMF) as a virtual Hall sensor to initiate OCT image acquisition and synchronize it with a Fourier Domain Mode-Locked (FDML)-based Megahertz OCT system. Notably, the implementation of BEMF-triggered OCT has led to a substantial reduction in image jitter and NURD (\<4 mrad), thereby opening up a new window for real-time visualization capabilities. This approach suggests potential benefits across various applications, aiming to provide a more accurate, deployable, and cost-effective solution. Subsequent studies can explore the adaptability of this system to specific clinical scenarios and its performance under practical endoscopic conditions.},

Utilizing a complex master-slave (CMS) recalibration method and due to a sufficiently high sensitivity of 84.6 dB, retinal layers of the human eye in-vivo can be resolved during optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. The developed FDML laser enables acquisition rates of 3D-volumes with a size of 200 × 100 × 256 voxels in under 100 milliseconds.

abstract = {Microscope integrated realtime 4D MHz-OCT operating at high scanning densities are capable of capturing additional visual contrast resolving depth and tissue. Even within a plain C-scan en-face projection structures are recognizable, that are not visible in a white light camera image. With advanced post processing methods, such as absorbtion coefficient mapping, and morphological classifiers more information is extraced. Presentation to the user in an intuitive way poses practical challenges that go beyond the implementation of a mere overlay display. We present our microscope integrated high speed 4D OCT imaging system, its clinical study use for in-vivo brain tissue imaging, and user feedback on the presentation methods we developed.},
